Ansel Adams,

Ansel Adams is one of the most famous photographers of all time. This is a great shot of him. All of her pictures are in black and white. I'm assuming she took this picture with a film camera since she took it in 1982. I think this picture captures the personality of Ansel Adams. I love how she took a picture of him taking a picture with his camera. I like seeing pictures of the old film cameras. A lot of photographers have digital cameras now a days and it's cool seeing what cameras looked like before. The composition is good too. I also like the way she cropped it. For being an older black and white photo, this photo is very clear and in focus. I love how his hat is on top of the camera. It must have been exciting to meet Ansel Adams.
